EC 1.11.1.16

Accepted name: versatile peroxidase

Reaction: (1) Reactive Black 5 + H2O2 = oxidized Reactive Black 5 + 2 H2O
(2) donor + H2O2 = oxidized donor + 2 H2O

Glossary: reactive black 5 = tetrasodium 4-amino-5-hydroxy-3,6(bis(4-(2-(sulfonatooxy)ethylsulfonyl)phenyl)azo)-naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate

Other name(s): VP; hybrid peroxidase; polyvalent peroxidase

Systematic name: reactive-black-5:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase

Comments: A hemoprotein. This ligninolytic peroxidase combines the substrate-specificity characteristics of the two other ligninolytic peroxidases, EC 1.11.1.13, manganese peroxidase and EC 1.11.1.14, lignin peroxidase. It is also able to oxidize phenols, hydroquinones and both low- and high-redox-potential dyes, due to a hybrid molecular architecture that involves multiple binding sites for substrates [2,4].
